Nightlife – Music – Review

Cali Hustle has been happening for a while, yet I made a stop until recently… tsk tsk tsk.

Hosted by the resident DJ Miss Sunny Z dropping the grown and sexy cuts and resident band QVLN performing live with full band, Cali Hustle can turn The Virgil into a hot California night any time of the year. I am uncertain if it is due to the flattering looks of Quetzal Guerrero holding it down behind his blue violin, or is it because of Miss Sunny Z’s have body shaker tunes, OR is it thanks to the love that one to another shout out through out the night (damn lovely!) but the majority of the audience is formed by beautiful women dancing the night away… men, you are sleeping.

This party travels to the North and deep down in the South of the continent with sounds of Afrobeat, Samba, Soul, Cumbia, Salsa, Reggaeton, Rock, Hip Hop, Reggae, Funk. QVLN masterfully switches from folk and rock to heavy hip hop bangers with smooth transitions keeping you moving nonstop. This is an experience that needs to be felt live and the opportunity is every 2nd Tuesday of the month.

I’m always thrilled about the opportunities that arise from this music photography venture of mine. I was stoked to be asked to do the stills for the video shoot of Quetzal Guerrero aka Qviolin a multi talented musician, violin virtuoso, super cool cat that with whatever beat he picks, from Brazilian grooves to a Jimmy Hendrix kinda vibe, will get your body grooving.

The filming of his upcoming video was no exception. Quetzal and partner in crime Ms Sunny Z put together a dream team composed by artists and technical collaborators that greatly enjoy creating beauty with whichever tools are available. I’m a big fan of team work! and this night had it written all over. I’m not going to disclose much about what’s coming up but do check the photos (even more at FARAHSTOP the music photography archive) as they will give you a tad little bit of the heat that #qvln has coming up.

Highlight: Social media! we tweeted and instagram and all during the shoot so check #qvln if you are curious 😉
